Book excerpt: Mobile Baseball Connection is the History of Baseball in Lower AlabamaMobile, Alabama is losing its Southern League AA baseball team after the 2019 season. The Bay Bears are moving to Madison County, Alabama near Huntsville. The Biloxi Shuckers became the same team which was once the Huntsville Stars until the 2015 season. The Stars were members of the Southern League from 1985 to 2014. Hank Aaron was ONE of the GREATEST baseball players in the world...and he represents Mobile, Alabama. He is just one of the biggest reasons Mobile has such a storied history in baseball. In my opinion, Mobile can lay claim to arguably and debatable...the greatest hitter in Hank Aaron; the greatest pitcher in Satchel Paige and the greatest fielder in Ozzie Smith.MOBILE BASEBALL CONNECTION and PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL in LOWER ALABAMA are available on Create Space and Amazon.com. I have self-published three book versions about the wonderful history of BASEBALL related to Mobile, Alabama. Completing these BOOKS project is like finishing a marathon that I never thought was possible. I was rejected by hundreds of publishers although I never once let anything discourage my focus. Patience has given me courage and strength to conclude my compilation of what has been so very special to me for numerous years.MOBILE BASEBALL CONNECTION is a very unique TRIBUTE to thousands of baseball players...young and old. Thousands of the topics represent Mobilians and Hundreds of the characters written about might not be from Mobile although they are many of the greatest men and boys to ever play the game. One must purchase the book to find all the GREAT baseball news that is written and recognized between the covers. From the HALL of FAME in Cooperstown to the Major Leagues and along the minor league trail are stories, statistics and memories. The Colleges and Universities in Mobile are highlighted along with best high school players and coaches. Don't ever think for a moment standouts on the Youth level would be left out from Babe Ruth and Dixie Boys all the way to the Little League World Series.MOBILE BASEBALL CONNECTION goes in to detail about thousands of facts, figures, stats, records, memories, births, deaths, milestones, and tidbits. It is a book that the real baseball fan will cherish. MBC is a reference book a lot like an almanac. The biographies, stories and reports about the great players connected and attached to Mobile, Alabama will educate the smartest baseball experts in the world. This book is definitely a collector's item that deserves a place on shelves in libraries and museums, on coffee tables and in book bags of our youth, but most importantly between the hands of baseball readers throughout our amazing country.I have held on to this idea and ambition to write about all this outstanding baseball for more than 20 years while the great players just keep coming around. I am humble with a spiritual thankfulness to GOD for allowing me to finish this project. Putting a cap on it is an everlasting feeling.There was only one way to put it all together and I did the very best I could. It is not about profit or gratitude. The 565 pages and 44 chapters of MOBILE BASEBALL CONNECTION are about the greatest baseball players that played in and around Mobile, Alabama. It brings me true joy to know that I have been a witness to such great baseball in my lifetime.Mobile Baseball Connection displays to the entire world how much baseball players and people have contributed to the City of Mobile through the wonderful sport of baseball.Mobile is best known for Mardi Gras, the Senior Bowl College football all-star game and good ole' Deep South outdoors on the Gulf Coast in Lower Alabama. The baseball players that were born, grew up, spent time and even died in the Port City are revealed and recognized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold story of baseball’s nineteenth-century origins: “a delightful look at a young nation creating a pastime that was love from the first crack of the bat” (Paul Dickson, The Wall Street Journal). You may have heard that Abner Doubleday or Alexander Cartwright invented baseball. Neither did. You may have been told that a club called the Knickerbockers played the first baseball game in 1846. They didn’t. Perhaps you’ve read that baseball’s color line was first crossed by Jackie Robinson in 1947. Nope. Baseball’s true founders don’t have plaques in Cooperstown. They were hundreds of uncredited, ordinary people who played without gloves, facemasks, or performance incentives. Unlike today’s pro athletes, they lived full lives outside of sports. They worked, built businesses, and fought against the South in the Civil War. In this myth-busting history, Thomas W. Gilbert reveals the true beginnings of baseball. Through newspaper accounts, diaries, and other accounts, he explains how it evolved through the mid-nineteenth century into a modern sport of championships, media coverage, and famous stars—all before the first professional league was formed in 1871. Winner of the Casey Award: Best Baseball Book of the Year

There have been countless major leaguers that have played minor league baseball in Mobile, Alabama. Although there is so much more baseball history from Mobile, this title represents minor league baseball at its best along the Gulf Coast. The history of minor league baseball in Mobile, Alabama is as traditional as Alabama Crimson Tide football. Alabama has won four Collegiate National football championships (NCAA) in the last seven years under the leadership of the historic coach Nick Saban. The Tide won five titles from 1961 to 1979 behind the legendary coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. The state of Alabama is dominated by college football while the goal of this book is to rejuvenate the excitement of the history of baseball in Mobile within all sports fans, including College football fans.
